The car of the future: no driver needed
Although Poland is not the first place that comes to mind when speaking of innovation, it appears that Polish engineers and technology students may have some aces up their sleeve to challenge this mindset.

As Michał Owczarek reports, the idea of building the car of the future – one that does not need a driver – has been recently conceived as a project by scientists of the AGH University of Science and Technology, the largest technical university in Poland, located in the southern city of Kraków.
"We have started a new Autonomous Car Laboratory at our university and our plan is to build a self-driving car prototype within 2-3 years," says Marek Długosz of the Automatic Control and Robotics Department.
